Nothing pleases me more than seeing my athletes get fun out of their running journey. I am inspired by athletes working towards their goals - they could be new to the trails & aspiring towards a trail marathon, stepping up to their first ultra or running their first 100 miler, looking to improve their race times or to obtain PB at Backyard Ultra - whether from a 4 yard or a 40 yard PB.
*I take great pride in seeing my athletes transition from classic race distances into ultra distances.
*My extensive running CV ensures that I can progress athletes up to their first 100 miler & beyond using years of real life training and race experience.
*Ranked number two UK female at backyard ultra I can develop athletes into efficient backyard ultra runners.
My sunny and cheerful nature & positive outlook ensures an enthusiastic approach towards your training, running and racing.
